Where Did My Dvd Go?!

[Timz]

My computer disabled my DVD-Rom drive. :angry: :angry: <_< <_< When i went to windows explorer, "Add remove Devices" It said that windows was not able to enable the device. The troubleshooter said that it was a problem with "code 22" Does neone know how i can re-enable my drive? <_<

have you disabled it in BIOS? if so just go enable it again..if not then i dunno if a dvd drive uses a driver that you have to download, install to get it working :blink:

:blink: im using windows XP, when i startup it doesnt tell me how to get into the BIOS page. Which key(s) do i press?

[Paul_NFFC]

press the DELETE key like 2 or 3 seconds after you switch on your pc (press it when you see the screen flashing up your specs etc)

then go into BIOS, look for your drives and it will say weather theyre enabled,disabled
